Watch Insurance in the UK but NOT ON home policy

Hi all I will be getting my datejust ii very soon (my first rolex) my question is does anyone know any good insurance companies here in the UK that can insure the watch.

There is another thread similar to this but everyone is saying get it on your home insurance policy.

The question am asking is does anyone no of any companies that i could use to just insure this watch on its own??

I do not have a content insurance policy just building and i do not intend to get content insurance so i want an insurance company that can just insure this watch for me on its own.

Can anyone help me on on this??
thanks Patrick

Goldsmiths offer a watch only insurance service.
Expensive in my opinion, my watch didn't make a difference on the premium of the house insurance. Watch is insured both in and out of the house.
So with the price you pay on only watch insurance you would be better off having contents insurance added and again it would probably be cheaper.

I hope you never regret not having contents insurance, I have been burgled twice and would recommend contents insurance to everyone.

hi just an update, i contacted lots of independent insurance companies but it was working out more to insure it with them, so decided to get contents insurance and add the watch to that. worked out better

thanks for all your input

Interesting thread as thats my next move, do they say you need a safe to be insured, and does it protect from loss or theft when out,

cheers,

Definitely the best decision and why so many posts on other threads said to do the same.......

You only need separate insurance once that watch collection has grown to £25k +
